At Shoreline Journeys Travel, I’m committed to sharing trustworthy content and real experiences that help you plan unforgettable vacations. As part of that commitment, I want to be completely transparent about how this blog and business operate behind the scenes. This Disclosure Policy explains how I earn income through affiliate partnerships and collaborations, how I choose the brands I work with, and how I uphold your trust every step of the way.ays keeping your trust at the center of everything I do.

Affiliate Links You Can Trust
Some of the links you’ll find on shorelinejourneys.com are affiliate links. That simply means I may earn a small commission—at no additional cost to you—if you click through and make a purchase or complete a booking. These commissions help support the time and care I put into writing helpful blog posts, keeping up with resort news, and providing personalized vacation planning services.
I only recommend products, services, and companies that I’ve either used myself, trust through experience, or believe will be a genuine benefit to my clients and readers. Your trust means everything to me, so if I wouldn’t use it or book it for my own family, I won’t recommend it to you.
Co-Branded Links to Sandals and Beaches Resorts
Throughout my website, you’ll find co-branded links to Sandals and Beaches Resorts. These links allow you to explore the resorts directly through my personalized travel advisor portal. If you choose to book your own trip using one of these links, I may receive a small commission as your Certified Sandals Elite Advisor. There’s no additional cost to you, and your support helps me continue offering free resources, resort insights, and vacation planning tips here at Shoreline Journeys Travel. Whether you book directly through a link or reach out for personalized help, I truly appreciate your support!
Other Current Affiliate Programs I Participate In:
- Amazon Services LLC Associates Program: I occasionally link to helpful travel products, books, or accessories through Amazon. If you make a purchase using one of these links, I may earn a small commission that supports the blog.
- Mediavine: You’ll notice display ads throughout the site, which are served through the Mediavine network. These ads generate a small amount of income each time they’re viewed or clicked, allowing me to keep content free and accessible.
- K.Y.S.S. Bags: I’m a fan of these secure, anti-theft travel bags, and love sharing them with readers and clients. If you choose to shop through my affiliate link, I may receive a commission.
- Blog and Website Hosting Tools: From time to time, I recommend platforms and services I use to run Shoreline Journeys Travel. If you sign up using my link, I may receive a referral fee or commission. My hosting platform is New Blog Hosting and I have an affiliate link for them.
If a post includes affiliate links, you’ll see a short note near the top of the page so you’ll always know. I value transparency and want you to feel confident that you’re getting honest, experience-based recommendations.
Sponsored Travel and Hosted Experiences
While most of the trips I feature on this blog and in my social media content are fully paid for by me, I may occasionally be invited to experience a resort, excursion, or destination at a discounted rate or complimentary in exchange for honest coverage. If I’ve received a hosted stay, comped excursion, or press trip, I will clearly disclose that information at the beginning of the post.
Regardless of whether I’ve paid for the trip myself or received it as part of a partnership, every opinion I share is 100% my own. I don’t accept collaborations with any brand I wouldn’t personally recommend or book for my clients. Authenticity is a core part of my business, and that won’t ever change.
Social Media and FTC Compliance
You’ll find Shoreline Journeys Travel on Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook, and YouTube, where I love connecting with you through tips, destination videos, and behind-the-scenes peeks into resort life. Just like here on the blog, I always follow FTC guidelines when it comes to transparency on social media.
If a post is sponsored, includes gifted products, or contains affiliate links, I disclose that clearly in the caption or content. There will be an AD in front of affiliate links on my social media. It’s important to me that you never have to guess whether something is a paid promotion—because your trust is far more valuable than any brand deal.
Why This Matters
As a Certified Sandals Elite Advisor, I help clients plan honeymoons, destination weddings, family getaways, anniversary trips, and so much more. I take that responsibility seriously—and I know you’re relying on me for honest insights and experienced guidance.
Whether you’re browsing my resort reviews, looking at photos on social media, or planning your next trip with me, I want you to feel confident that everything I recommend comes from a place of real experience and genuine care. I’m not here to push products—I’m here to help you travel better, easier, and more joyfully.
Have Questions?
If you have any questions about this disclosure policy or anything I share here on the site, I’m just an email away.
